Drink More Water
DRINK MORE WATER is the advice show for embracing who you are and who you’re still becoming.
Hosted by Amanda Adams, every episode feels like sitting with your big sister and her funniest, smartest friends as they unpack the real stuff: the twists that shaped them, the ugly-cry moments that turned into wins, the hacks that actually help, and the mistakes that somehow became magic.
It’s fun, refreshing, and heartfelt — a weekly dose of honest conversations that make you laugh, think, and maybe feel a little less alone. And because we love a challenge, each guest closes with their best life advice in three words or less.
Easygoing, upbeat, and full of big-sister energy… It’s the kind of show you come back to because it just feels good.
New episodes every Tuesday!

Barrett Baber Keeps Showing Up: The Journey from The Voice to Platinum Songwriter
It takes more than luck to make it in the music business. It’s an industry that will knock you down far more than it will lift you up. But Barrett Baber isn’t one to stay down for long.
From surviving a plane crash, to having the courage to leave a job he hated — and then leaving a job he loved to bet on himself on The Voice — Barrett has built a career by doing one thing, over and over again: showing up.
Now a certified platinum songwriter, including co-writing “Nothing On You” for Cody Johnson, Barrett shares how he’s taken every curveball life has thrown his way, figured out how to keep moving forward, and trusted the process even when the outcome was anything but guaranteed.
What We Talk About in This Episode
- Life before The Voice — teaching, faith, responsibility, and early setbacks
- Why Barrett understood The Voice as an opportunity, not a shortcut
- Leaving stability (twice) and betting on himself
- What really happens after the spotlight fades
- The Nashville grind: writing rooms, rejection, and patience
- Using AI as a tool without losing the human heart behind the music
- Writing “Nothing On You” and reaching platinum success
- The mindset that’s carried him through it all: Keep showing up!
